Reply to comment by MpVpRb in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

Advertising (even base advertising) works because deep down we all still have primitive monkey brain neurons that strengthen when repeatedly exposed to a stimulus. Businesses, governments, and others are all convinced too, which is ironically further proof it's effective.

I’m seeing more that advertising goes too hard these days and makes people feel hate and resentment for whatever is being advertised. It’s definitely supposed to be a balancing act but things are getting out of hand and greedy lately.

They spend 100s of billions every year on research determining how much they advertise vs rate of return. So I agree that its getting out of hand, but it must still be working.
